PH gov’t wins ill-gotten wealth case vs Marcoses, Alfonso Lim’s family
Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – A division of the Philippine anti-graft court on Monday, January 4, ordered the Marcoses and the Lim family that owns Taggat Industries to return all the properties claimed by government.
The Sandiganbayan Second Division decided Civil Case Number 0030 that the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) filed in 1987, a year after dictator Ferdinand Marcos was ousted.
The original defendants in the 28-year-old case were Alfonso Lim Sr (who died in 2002), Alfonso Lim Jr, Marcos-time Environment Minister Teodoro Peña, Ferdinand Marcos and First Lady Imelda Marcos, and several corporations.
The Marcoses’ 3 children – incumbent Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos, Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, and Irene Marcos-Araneta – were also named substitute defendants through a Sandiganbayan order in 1991.
